Got a call yesterday from my local coin shop geek/buddy/bowling pal:
"Dennis, you still buying circ. Walkers? We've got 55 of them; get down here tomorrow or else they're going to the melter."
So I go down and buy 'em for what they were going to sell them to the melter for, bring them home and -- of course -- check the dates. Almost all of them were decent circ. coins, generally in the VG-F range with some VFs thrown in, and it became apparent pretty quickly that I may have to consider giving my geek/buddy/bowling pal just a little less grief for a while... except that sandbagger still isn't going to get any pins of handicap from me:
1934-S.... 12
1935-S.... 15
1936-S.... 12
1937-S.... 7
1938-P.... 3
1939-S.... 6

When in doubt, don't.

My AVG is 165,wed nite i shot 125,158,202 and my woman kicked my rear !
I'm averaging 214 in a handicap mixed league, bowling leadoff on a five-man team where the low average is 201. Leadoff means I'm almost always bowling against a woman. My season won-loss record is finally back up to break-even... the ladies in this league abuse us guys all the time and we love it!
If you only need a couple I'd be glad to help. But if you're looking for a lot... well, I've got this big decorative jar I'm trying to fill and have as a conversation piece (so far it's working with my wife!), and it isn't full yet so...
